A close relative recently shared a dream with me. It may have seemed like just a dream, but it carried a clear revelation of the enemy’s strategy—and God’s instruction for the season.
She said, “We will pray about it.”
So we left for church.
During praise and worship, the minister raised a song that went:
“Put your hands in the air, I see favor in the air.”
As I lifted my hands in worship, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper:
“Fight, and you will win.”
Immediately, my mind went to the story of Moses in Scripture, during the battle with the Amalekites.
Whenever Moses' hand was raised, Israel prevailed. When his hands dropped, the enemy prevailed. And so it became clear—our hands are not ordinary.
They are the outstretched arms of the hand of God.
When the Lord lifts His hand, it’s not to dance—it’s to take action and to exercise power.
Exodus 15:3
“The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name.”
Exodus 15:6
“Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.”
God is still in the business of fighting for His people.
When we lift our hands in prayer or worship, we are not simply making a gesture—we are inviting the Lord to step in and take over the battle.
In this second half of the year, I bring you a gentle but urgent reminder:
Stir the heavens with prayer. Let God raise His hand on your behalf.
Remember the Battle with Amalek
The Bible records in Exodus 17:10–13:
So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek.
And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it.
And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Moses raised his hands—and victory came.
But now, we have the Lord Himself living in us.
When we lift our hands, we are not just lifting flesh—we are engaging the Mighty Man of War.
The Bible says we are surrounded by an innumerable company of angels (Hebrews 12:22).
So when we war in prayer and lift up holy hands, heaven and angels awaits the instruction we want to give.
When our hands are lifted in obedience, the Lord takes over the fight.
In this season, may your spirit remain sensitive.
When the Lord prompts you to lift up your hand, know this:
It is not just your hand that is raised—it is God’s hand of divine intervention.
And just like in the days of Moses,
as long as the hand of the Lord is lifted in your camp—you will not be defeated.
Stay revived!
